Hand-cut roofs. Crafted for your project.

The structure that everything rests on

A hand-cut roof is formed from individual timber members cut and assembled for the particular roof. It is an approach that calls for careful attention to geometry, connections and how loads are transferred through the structure.

Harry’s carpentry background sits at the centre of this service. The work may be part of a new roof, an extension or an alteration to an existing building. The right approach depends on the design and the condition of what is already there.

From drawings to roof structure

Where drawings or a structural specification exist, they provide the starting point for a conversation about the build. Roof shape, openings, bearings and junctions need to be understood before timber work begins.

If you are at an earlier stage, tell Harry what you want to achieve. Do not assume a particular structural solution can be confirmed from photographs alone.

Details worth discussing

• The proposed roof shape and covering.
• How the new structure connects to the existing building.
• Openings, dormers or other changes to the roof geometry.
• Access, lifting requirements and the sequence of work.
• The plans and structural information already available.

One part of the work, or the complete roof

You can enquire about the carpentry element on its own, or discuss a complete pitched roof with insulation, ventilation and the weatherproof finish considered alongside the structure.

Thinking about those later layers early helps identify the details that need to be coordinated between trades.
